Backends are registered to the BackendService through new data
structures:
Backends are concrete classes, deriving from
\OCA\Files_External\Lib\Backend\Backend. During construction, the
various configuration parameters of the Backend can be set, in a design
similar to Symfony Console.
DefinitionParameter stores a parameter configuration for an external
storage: name of parameter, human-readable name, type of parameter
(text, password, hidden, checkbox), flags (optional or not).
Storages in the StoragesController now get their parameters validated
server-side (fixes a TODO).
- Added StorageConfig class to replace ugly arrays
- Implemented StorageService and StorageController for Global and User
storages
- Async status checking for storages (from Xenopathic)
- Auto-generate id for external storage configs (not the same as
storage_id)
- Refactor JS classes for external storage settings, this mostly
moves/encapsulated existing global event handlers into the
MountConfigListView class.
- Added some JS unit tests for the external storage UI
Add support for external files accessed via SFTP using public key exchange authentication.
Keys are generated automatically when the configuration is added, or can be regenerated on demand if a key is compromised.
Creation of a new configuration row now triggers focus on that row. This is used to trigger auto-configuration for SFTP keys.
Generated public keys are saved in user's data directory for easy retrieval by an external application.
Add controller for SFTP key generation AJAX
SFTP class initialisation no longer produces a warning if the password field is missing.
Add unit tests for SFTP with key authentication backend
Added addTranslations and fixed de.js file
Fixed de.js to use OC.L10N.register() and use to correct expected
format.
Added JS unit tests for OC.L10N class
Include translations JS script for all apps
* Highlight fields that need to be filled
* Remove (required) and (optional) strings where possible
* Focus first configuration field when creating new external storage
* Add ability to force external storage re-check
* Various jQuery improvements
* Prevent wrapping of checkboxes in configuration
Each storage backend has a default priority, assigned to any system mounts
created in ownCloud. mount.json can be manually modified to change these
priorities.
The priority order is as follows:
* Personal
* User
* Group
* Global
Within each mount type, the mount with the highest priority is active.
The storage backend defaults were chosen to be the following:
* Local - 150
* Remote storage - 100
* SMB / CIFS with OC login - 90
